Berean Study Bible Personal Book
I ran the Berean Study Bible USFM from here:
https://berean.bible/downloads.htm
through BibleMultiConverter to produce a Logos Personal Book:
The Berean Study Bible has a very permissive license, so there shouldn't be any copyright issues posting this Personal Book here (I also filled out the licensing form provided here: https://berean.bible/licensing.htm before posting here).
I didn't do an exhaustive check to make sure BibleMultiConverter did the export correctly, but I didn't see any issues in my spot check.

Thanks Kevin. I hope it compiles correctly. Did it work for you?

The build failed for me with 1 warning and 2 errors.

Can you post what the errors are? I was able to successfully build this book, so the error messages will be helpful to debug the issue. Thanks

Sorry it takes me a while to reply, all my posts are marked as spam for some reason, so they are reviewed before being posted. I'm not sure why...

I don't know what made the difference, but this time the book was built correctly.
So, if you have a problem for some reason the first time you try to build this book, then try it again.
N.B. Mick thank you for your offer of help. I appreciate it.

It took quite a while, but built just fine for me. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for doing this. The BSB is a fine translation.
However, I noticed verse 1 of several Psalms is missing. I checked the Docx to confirm.

Yes, I was made aware of this recently on the github page where I posted this file as well. Unfortunately, the automatic conversion script I used appears to have not liked the formatting of the BSB input files I used.
I'm afraid I don't have the time to look into the issue right now, with the health issues my daughter is dealing with, but I'd love if someone else could take over this file and fix some of the issues!

I ran the Berean Study Bible USFM from here:
I went to that page but downloaded the Word option. It compiled successfully the first time. I did not put in the milestones, however. And I see that the text may be pulling in from online sources so this may not be a relevant test.

Kevin would you be so kind as to helping me to use that program? I have done what I've read online to run a java program but I'm running into problems getting it started. My name is Frank Dean Hodges on facebook, if you could shoot a friend request there, i Don't know how to message on FL. If not I undnerstand, if so,many thanks.

I noticed that some other Bible software companies have official versions of the Berean Study Bible. I wonder if Faithlife is / will be developing one?

I'm hoping they will have an official version sooner or later!
In the meantime, I started writing a python script to convert the .usfm files from the BSB website into html for import into Logos. I'm about half done, and working on it about 15-30 minutes a day, should finish in about a week or so.
Once I'm finished, it'll have footnotes, poetry formatting, list formatting, etc. I'm also cleaning up the headers and such, compared to the file I posted previously. And it shouldn't be missing those Psalms verses [:)]
I'm writing the script to fail and quit on any unexpected errors, so I'm doing all I can to not silently omit or insert errors in the final book, and am checking things as much as possible as I go.
If Logos doesn't put out an official version before I'm done, I'll post it here.

I'm sure many people would love a usfm to html for logos script! Please share that too.

Sounds awesome!

I wish I was smart enough to use one lol. I tried to use MultiBibleConverter and just can't seem to figure out how to get it to actually run. Maybe I would have an easier time on my mac?

Here's the first draft of the BSB formatted by the Python script I wrote. I'm still checking it's formatting and such, so I wouldn't call it a "final" version. Please let me know if you find any issues with the text, or formatting issues.

Updated book:
I added all the verse references, so Logos can jump directly to individual verses in the BSB.
0 -
I fixed another formatting issue. For an example of what was fixed, compare Rev 3 in this version with the previous.
0 -
... and more formatting fixes (see Numbers 2)

I think the last version I posted is pretty complete. Next steps:
1. apply 2nd printing updates
2. add italics to quotes in footnotes
3. do a diff between the text in my final output, and the original text to make sure nothing is missing.
0 -
Number 1 and 2 on the todo list are done. As soon as I verify the accuracy of the final text, I'll post it here.

As far as posting the python script I wrote... we'll see, as it's a little messy, and very specific to the BSB usfm files. I'll work on cleaning them up, and making them more generic to usfm after I finish the BSB. I wrote it more as a means to an end than a general tool...

Here's the final version of the BSB for Logos from my python script. It has all the 2nd printing updates, italics for quotes in the footnotes, and I did a diff between the original usfm text, and my final html output from the script to make sure there was no missing text/additions/changes.
Please let me know if you find any formatting or text issues.

Kevin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this and make it available! Hopefully Faithlife will eventually add an official version, but it is wonderful to have this in the meantime!0
